Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / July 2005The aged DSLR users
Interesting to see this statistic. From dpreview.com Digital SLR sales soar Sales of digital SLRs continue to rise and nearly doubled in the period 2003-2004, according to industry analyst NPD Techworld. PMA Sales of DSLRs rose from 277,796 in 2003 to 578,000 in 2004 and are on track to break records this year as 200,000 units had already been sold by April 2005. The 2005 PMA US Consumer Photo Buying report also reveals that 60% of DSLR owners are male, who are slightly older than compact digital camera users at around 48 years old, but younger than 35mm SLR users at 52 A couple of years ago, all the posts were about Canon G5's and the like. Now the point and shoots seem to have dropped off the face of the earth in these groups, Don > A couple of years ago, all the posts were about Canon G5's and the > like.
